Gemini 3 enables the chatbot to think across several data sources to answer hard questions and tailor them for you. The feature is rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US right now as a beta. Google has announced a big update to its AI assistant with the release of Personal Intelligence for Gemini. The goal of this new feature is to turn Gemini from a general knowledge engine into a real personal assistant that knows what’s going on in your life and can give you truly personalized responses. Gemini can now connect to your Google ecosystem safely and bridge the gap between different apps to give you answers that are just right for you. [h/t Pete Weiss]
Google Gemini’s new personal intelligence remembers the details you forget.The core idea behind Personal Intelligence is to let Gemini “connect the dots” across your digital history. Up until now, AI assistants were great at fetching a single email or finding a specific photo if you asked directly. Meanwhile, personal intelligence goes a step further. The upgrade uses reasoning to combine information about you from multiple sources. The list includes things like Gmail, Google Photos, Search history, and even YouTube. This feature enables a new level of functionality and depth to Gemini responses. For instance, if you are standing at a car shop and can’t remember your tire size or license plate, Gemini can now scour your inbox for a past receipt or find a specific photo of your vehicle to give you the answer in seconds..”
